Korg Pa5X Oriental (61 keys)

The Pa5X ORIENTAL with its completely newly developed sound engine and user interface has a special user interface that makes it easy for newbies and those switching over to get started: Logical color codes that run through many levels, large displays and buttons as well as icons in photo quality make it easier to navigate through thousands of inspiring sounds and lively styles for almost every music genre.

The KORG Pa5X ORIENTAL has two completely independent players that can play styles, MIDI files and MP3 files - no matter in which combination! This makes it possible to mix two styles or even play them synchronously. The "Smooth Sound Transition" function ensures that no notes or effects are cut off when fading or switching.

Based on the Pa5X standard model, the Pa5X ORIENTAL offers the same functions, sounds and styles, but expands these with a huge collection of oriental sounds and rhythms from the musical world of the Middle East. Countless strings, wind instruments as well as drum and percussion kits were recorded by well-known Turkish, Arabic and Persian professional musicians and form the basis for the musical variety that the Pa5X ORIENTAL has to offer. A special round robin function ensures ultra-authentic and lively drum sounds.

The Pa5X ORIENTAL offers a virtual keyboard in the touch display that can be used to select alternative scales or to tune individual keys "on the fly". It is also possible to use several different scales at the same time, so that, for example, the solo voice sounds in an Arabic scale while the accompaniment tracks continue to play in equal temperament.

The keyboard is of high quality and exudes timeless elegance: wooden side panels nestle against a sturdy, black aluminum housing. Real-time control of many parameters is easy thanks to an additional strip display and the associated buttons and faders, because the display always shows the value of the respective parameter. A large chord sequence library invites you to jam, the 8-inch, tiltable and lockable touch display in tablet quality shows all chords, lyrics and (Midi file) notes in high resolution.

In addition to the microphone connection, there is a separate guitar input with its own gain , and up to four guitar effects can be saved as presets and recalled for each track in the freely programmable songbook. A four-voice harmonizer is also on board, as well as an autopitch function for contemporary vocal performances.
